The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018)

This film adaptation of a popular novel may be a mouthful of a title, yet the film is made with heart and soul and its very entertaining. It is a sweet, well-shot and well-acted nostalgic post-war drama. Lily James does well as she can with her rather unlikely character, the supporting cast are solid and the script is good as well. Fans of old-fashioned romances need look no further. The thoroughly delightful cast, the handsome period design make also a good enough movie but the film is directed by Mike Newell, who made one of the greatest romantic movies, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" so we expected even more. The result is a film that, while perfectly enjoyable with its English charm, becomes a nostalgic and superficial as the title suggests it is going to be.

Fmovies: It's a well written story, and beautifullly shot, an emotional moving film. A love story is the sub plot , to the main plot of nazi occupied channel island ..unrequited love , love found on a journey to discover the truth of what really happened during the occupation in WW2 . A good film . More than just a love story .

Perhaps to my shame, I was somewhat taken aback by the qualities of this presentation. The plot takes an original approach for a story-line set during the Second World War, yet never does its approach forsake the careful delineation of character. Think Thomas Hardy... Think the Channel Islands instead of the West Country... And you've got it...

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society fmovies. Wasn't expecting much as a free advance screening, but what a film, enthralling throughout , fantastic story & great cast , go see it you won't be disappointed!

I loved this film!! Having read the book and it being one of my all time favourite books I was a little wary of the film, as they often don't do the book justice. However, this is an exception! I thought it was beautifully made and the casting was brilliant with great chemistry between them. The only thing that did let it down was one of, what I felt, was a larger plot from the book being left out. It would have made it complete to have the ending and how the ending happened stayed more true to book, but it was still a beautiful ending and would highly recommend to anyone!

I loved this movie. It has a great cast and a very interesting storyline. It was a good mixture of romance, history, friendships and how our life experiences shape us. I would thoroughly recommend this movie.
